The insulin receptor is a tetrameric transmembranous glycoprotein composed of two alpha subunits (120kD) and two beta subunits (90kD).
The alpha subunits are disulfide linked, totally extracellular and are the insulin binding site.
The beta subunits are transmembranous and contain an intracellular tyrosine kinase domain.
The biological effects of insulin are mediated primarily through the insulin receptor.
The interaction of insulin with the alpha-subunit of the insulin receptor activates the protein tyrosine kinase of the beta-subunit which then undergoes an autophosphorylation that increases its tyrosine kinase activity.
Three adaptor proteins, IRS-1, IRS-2 and Shc, become phosphorylated on tyrosine residues following insulin receptor activation.
These three phosphorylated proteins then interact with SH2 domain-containing signaling proteins.
Applications:Suitable for use in Immunoprecipitation, Blocking and Immunoblot.
Other applications not tested.
Recommended Dilution:Immunoprecipitation: using radiolabelled human insulin receptor (hINSR) (Soos et al, 1986)Blocking: has been shown to cause >80% inhibition of insulin binding to IM-9 cells (Soos et al, 1986), and to block receptor activation
